Romani Slavery in Romanian History Textbooks: Between Reparations and Coloniality of Knowledge
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article investigates the depiction of Romani slavery in Romanian history textbooks for years 4, 8, and 12 that were approved by Romania’s Ministry of National Education for the 2023–2024 school year. Using Teun A. van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis framework, the study examines to what extent the Romanian curriculum has been decolonised in the discipline of history or, if on the contrary, it still preserves epistemic power structures as described in Aníbal Quijano’s concept of the colonial matrix of power.
